Chapter Four: Fork In The Road
-
*Pandora sprinted after him and skidded to a stop at the ship, she pushed off and flew in*”So what are we looking for?”, she asked looking around the rusty and musty ship.
-
Faye looks up at Andaluza and forces a smile, “Y-You learn to feel a bit more emotion when you realize that you were fighting for the wrong side…”
-
Katherine stayed near the ship as she watched the two fly, deciding to just get some fresh air.
-
Apollo called back to Katherine. “Hey, aren’t you going to check out the KIRK with us? We might need help with this!”
-
Andaluza smiled back at Faye. “I realized I was doing the same. Now, I am where I should be.” Andaluza walked over to Jack. “I feel honored to join The Keepers. I guess you want me in here as well.” Andaluza grabbed Jack’s hand in a formal handshake.
-
Jack took it.
“I mean, sure, but what’s your angle on this…? You feel bad about the killing you did, and you wanna fix it now?”
-
“I suppose…though I really do doubt you’ll need me…” Katherine shrugged and got up, looking back she said to Malice, “Get yourself acquainted with Mr. Cyborg. I’ll be out for a few.” Katherine flew to Apollo and Pandora, looking around curiously. “What are we going to do?”
-
Andaluza looked angrily at Jack. “I am not a murderer, Mr. Monroe. I was a man who harassed others in forms of torture. I’m going to set things right, I assure you. I’m even starting now, with you.” Andaluza took out a small bottle of a red liquid. “Healing scars require physical disappearance first, then the mental aspect comes in. Where did I burn you when we last encountered? I believe it was an attempt to kill you by burning your heart.”
-
“Indeed, it was.” Jack said, lifting up his shirt to show a puckered red scar directly over his heart on his chest.
“The fucker burned for days. This was the first scar I’ve ever gotten, and it was the last. No scar before or after that stayed. And I’d like to keep it.” Jack let go of his shirt, having it fall back into place.
-
Andaluza shook his head and stowed the bottle away. “You’ll never accept me with that thing on you.”
-
“Broken floorboard on the control panel to your left, don’t step. Holopod and cryogenic surfaces are destroyed and decaying, also don’t touch.” Apollo walked through the wreckage, careful not to have anything destroyed. “Ok, we’re looking for the informational maps. We need to get them to Jack as soon as possible, it has the location and timestamps of Midzog’s attacks.”
-
“I just want to know why you decided to change.” Jack said, looking into his unnaturally gray eyes.
-
*Pandora nods then flaps off into the wreckage of the ship looking for a control panel that works*
-
Katherine nodded as she quietly looked for the maps or anything with information.
